The leader of the opposition African Democratic Congress, Funso Doherty, on Saturday, queried the discrepancies in the expenditure of the Lagos State Government.
Doherty made this detailed analysis via a letter to the Lagos State Government, posted on his official X handle.
He wrote, “I just wrote an open letter to the Governor on Public Procurement awards reported by LASG for the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023, highlighting a number of issues for further scrutiny and remedial action. Judicious use of public funds is always important, and is especially so now.”

The breakdown further revealed that a sum of the sum of N7.4 million spent on “replacement of the liquid fragrance” in Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s office.
In the aftermath, Users on X have posted various reactions on the development;
See even if you put Funsho Doherty (who is casting Sanwo-Olu mercilessly), Peter Obi and the Pope in Jesus Party of Nigeria (JPN), the people are not yet ready.
Nigerians are sincerely not ready yet.

I’ll campaign for Funso Doherty to be next Governor of Lagos State heavily in 2027, I don’t care under what party, he’s a very sensible person.

One of Sanwo’s SA once said Funsho Doherty will get tired when he started. I guess they should be ready for more.

In all honesty, how do you leave Funsho Doherty to support GRV. By all standard of experience in the private sector, he is far above Gbadebo.
He isn't even interested in the Yoruba & Igbo politics of supremacy. Man is just targeting Lagos state line items and picking out concerns— Dipo (@Hardeshinaisma1) November 18, 2023
Funsho Doherty is just a gem. When he contests in 2027, I’ll be here to give him all the support.
